By Asubiojo G. O.

As the dawn of 2026 breaks with renewed hope and promise, the Chairman of Irepodun Ifelodun Local Government (IILG), Hon. Oluwagbenga Oluwatuyi, alongside his supportive and industrious wife, Hon. (Mrs.) Hellen Oluwatuyi, has extended warm and heartfelt New Year felicitations to the resilient and peace-loving people of Igede Ekiti, Awo Ekiti, and the hardworking staff of the Local Government.

Describing the New Year as a season of reflection, reconciliation, and responsible leadership, the IILG First Family called on citizens to embrace steadfast love, forgiveness, unity of purpose, and disciplined vision as enduring pillars for sustainable development and social harmony. They emphasized that true progress flourishes where compassion guides governance and vision is pursued with clarity, logic, and analytical precision.

The Chairman and his wife underscored the importance of strategic thinking and collective responsibility in navigating present-day socio-economic realities.

 They urged residents to continue supporting policies and programmes that promote inclusive growth, youth empowerment, community security, and peaceful coexistence, noting that the future greatness of IILG lies in a shared resolve where government and citizens work hand in hand toward excellence.

Hon. Oluwagbenga Oluwatuyi and Hon. (Mrs.) Hellen Oluwatuyi specially commended the staff of Irepodun Ifelodun Local Government for their unwavering dedication and selfless service in the past year. They charged them to raise the bar in 2026 through deeper cooperation, renewed commitment, punctuality, and professionalism, stressing that excellence must not only be sustained but surpassed.

“This year, our service delivery must be smarter, faster, more accountable, and more people-centred than ever before,” they noted.

Reaffirming the administration’s game-changing commitment to transparent governance, accountability, and people-oriented leadership, the Chairman and his pragmatic wife called on all stakeholders—traditional institutions, community leaders, youths, women, professionals, and civil servants—to renew their faith in collective action and work tirelessly toward a more prosperous and united IILG.

In keeping with their characteristic humility and pragmatic leadership style, the couple further implored the dynamic, consciously intelligent, and patriotic citizens of the Local Government to continue offering constructive advice, objective criticism, and timely guidance as tools for strengthening governance and deepening democracy.

They also appealed to the progressive and loving people of Igede Ekiti and Awo Ekiti to sustain their overwhelming support for the second-term aspiration of Governor Abayomi Oyebanji (BAO), describing him as a kind-hearted, professionally inclined, and development-driven leader—a “Jinx Breaker” whose administration continues to deliver tangible dividends of democracy across Ekiti State. Citizens were urged to mobilize massive votes and collective support to ensure the continuity of good governance.

The humility-personified couple concluded by wishing the people of Igede Ekiti, Awo Ekiti, and the entire IILG a peaceful, productive, and glorious New Year 2026, praying that it ushers in greater unity, measurable progress, and shared prosperity for all.
